The Kings Head, Deal

Very traditional pub in the upper part of the village, retaining two separate bars and a rear dining room. These areas are quite dark, but feature all the local history photographs and collections of bits and pieces that one would expect. With three of the four handpumps in use, I found London Pride, Wadworth Dirty Rucker and (unexpectedly) Two Hoots from Holt's (£3.60, and in good shape).

Pleasant pub in an equally pleasant location (although parking difficult in the summer). Good beer and reasonably priced food make it well worth a visit.
